There's clearly not enough space for ppl to stand behind the barricades and the police appear helpless...

MC announces "don't shut the show in 30mins itself, I beg you..pls cooperate and we can have fun for 3hrs" #madurai #TamilNadu #happystreet

Is this a concept of fun?? pic.twitter.com/FXkVtFtgfO
